David O. Selznick wanted Gone with the Wind to be somehow more than a movie, a film that would broaden the very idea of what a film could be and do and look like. In many respects he got what he worked so hard to achieve in this 1939 epic (and all-time box-office champ in terms of tickets sold), and in some respects he fell far short of the goal.

I can't fathom why the first review hit out at the picture/sound quality of this set, these movies were made in the thirties so you can hardly expect a crisp picture and crystal clear audio. I was able to understand and enjoy every selection on these discs, and found the transfer to DVD quite wonderful.
Just wanted others to know if you're a fan of Leigh, this set collects some grand gems! More Info About This DVD Actor(s): Charles Laughton - Vivien Leigh Director(s): Tim Whelan DVD Release Date: Released the 25 November 2003 Usually ships within 3 to 4 days
